Naming Pokemon?

[Declan_23]

Surely it wouldn't be hard to add a report name feature and if a pokemon was flagged enough times the name would be changed back to default? Of course then you'll get people abusing the report feature. It's a shame the level of maturity of most people online is so low, I would really love to be able to give my pokemon names, that was one of my favourite parts of the games, making all my pokemon MINE, it was the only customisation you got.

Note: all pokemon will have 'talent trees' so essentially each one will be different

What about you need to have some (real) 'accomplishments' before being able to name pokemon, to filter out the 'people with low maturity'. Once done, you have the option to ask for the possibility of naming pokemon.

Now, to narrow the filter, there can be a sort of survey among the players who came to battle/chat quite a lot with the concerned player (without the latter knowing; (s)he'll be told to wait for some time before the feature will be available). Some mods can keep a close watch on the player during this time. If the survey and the player deserves the feature, then (s)he'll get it.

Once a mod see that the player is misusing the feature, then the feature will be permanently removed (a record can be kept for that).

I know, it's somewhat complicated... but I'm trying to find a solution to implement the feature, without allowing the 'people with low maturity' have access to it.

They are going to alow you to give names to your pokemon. If not... well then its not Pokemon.

i think that you should be able to name your pokemon,

but it would be hard to block all bad names, so made after fighting or see a pokemon with a bad name there should be a report button, where u can click and report all sort of problems

for example you could select, report bug, report bad pokemon name, report trainer,

and it will then open a box for you to write in.

after completing that u click send.

and then admin will get an e-mail like

while in battle with a trainer called ash010 he send out a charmader with the name FU**

a simple way to sort problems out in a MMo


cheers once again

I hope that we will be able to name our own pokemon. I think that's what the Name Rater is for lol. If not, I would be so surprised

The problem I see here is that people might abuse of this feature. What will happen when the PU team receives an avalanche of reports concerning bad pokemon name?

[neokills]

i always keep my pokemon the same name any way :-p so either is fine with me

[Mr Pokemon]

What if the ability for naming your Pokemon came as a reward for something difficult to achieve?
That way, it will get rid of some of the newbs who will be stupid and name their Pokemon stupid names. Plus, there should be some sort of profanity blocker.
                       ~Just an idea~

Right, similar thing to my earlier suggestion

[Zatrei]

How hard would it be to put a list for blocked words, like most games do. I'm sure that you can find a list somewhere on the internet.

[Jerry]

Not quite a bad idea, but I think there are too many ways to write the same word.

[Raikt]

This is just me talking, so don't take it for hard fact. The easiest thing I see, in terms of implementing, would making the player have to achieve the ability to nickname their Pokemon. Showing that they are worthy of doing it. Otherwise, we could just put up a filter that blocks out keywords.

Of course, people would find a way around that so we'd have to rely on catching it ourselves or having the community report Randomuser1 for using "lulzpenorz" in a battle.

[Jerry]

Yes, okay, this is the third time this main idea of getting to a certain level, where the trainer is worthy of nicknaming the pokemon is pointed out, by three different people.

I think therefore that could be what the PU team implements, well, if naming pokemon is made possible.

[Mr Pokemon]

What if, when naming your Pokemon, you could only use letters or numbers. That way, if a profanity blocker was implemented, it would be easier to make. With all the symbols, there might be 100's of ways to spell the word. But with only letters and numbers, maybe about 10.

[Zatrei]

Is the game itself going to have a chat filter? Because if so, you can use the same words as that uses.
